Imagine how a trooper must feel on the ground. I am being asked to risk my life and limb and we are going to out of here in three years regardless of whether we are winning or not? I guess we should remind Obama of Kerry’s statement before Congress in 1971, “How do you ask a man to be the last man to die for a mistake?”
Well, speaking as a Vietnam Vet, at least the troops know that up front (not that I agree with it). Many of us signed up for the Vietnam War in the belief that our country was committed to victory when JFK stated our county would "...bear any burden, pay any price, in the defense of liberty". I'm not complaining, I came back in relativey good condition. My anger and grief relates to those who lost their lives and those who continue to suffer.
